The 223 on deer thread has urged me to set up an 18' 223 to run on general pest control.
I picked up a 8 twist barrel off of a mate recently, cut it back to 18" and have been running the same load my tikka varmint likes.
has only been on some small missions, not rough pack in pack out type stuff. checked zero over the weekend.
